There had been considerable theft, so I simply required that bottle caps be saved and the total number needed to match up with the register tally. Additionally, to encourage more sales, I created a graduated scale that would let the servers earn more on greater quantities RETRO to the first beer served that week. Everyone benefited. Service improved, theft went to nearly zero, and we made more money. Many years ago, I instituted a “rewards” program in a lounge that served bottled beer.
